My Project
This project would help Movement and Activities of Daily Living teachers in supporting students with autism to develop independent motor and self-care skills and build confidence through engaging activities. We want our students to enjoy learning by integrating sensory experiences into Movement and ADL. Our students attend a Title 1 special education school in Brooklyn, NY. We are dedicated to supporting children on the autism spectrum with diverse learning needs. We are passionate about providing individualized instruction and specialized support to help them thrive. Being a Title 1 school, many of our families face financial challenges, making it essential for us to provide access to enriching experiences that might not otherwise be available. Additionally, as a co-located school, we navigate unique challenges while ensuring that our students have the resources, space, and support they need to develop essential life skills. Our students are full of potential, curiosity, and determination and, with the right tools, they can build confidence and a love for movement and daily living activities
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
